On October 8, the XRP Ledger activated the PermissionDelegationV1_1 feature, allowing account owners to authorize other accounts to perform specific tasks without relinquishing control of the account's master key. According to the monitoring site XRPL Dashboard, such upgrades require over 80% support from trusted validators for two consecutive weeks; based on the current 35 validators, at least 29 must support it. The countdown for this feature was reset in September due to the support rate falling below the threshold.This feature allows enterprises to split permissions by function. Stablecoin issuers can authorize compliant accounts to approve new customers while keeping the master key offline. Authorized accounts use their own keys to sign and can only perform the granted operations; owners can change or revoke these permissions at any time. Each authorized account can receive up to 10 permissions, which limit the types of operations they can perform, rather than automatically setting spending limits. Banks have previously separated payment and compliance responsibilities at the employee level, and this upgrade enforces such division at the ledger level.According to a report shared by Evernorth, a subsidiary of XRP Treasury, the network held an average of $3.72 billion in tokenized assets and $539 million in Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin in the second quarter, totaling approximately $4.26 billion. Official guidance advises users not to delegate PaymentBurn permissions before separately fixing activation; this permission is intended for assistants to destroy tokens but, under certain conditions, also allows for the creation of new tokens. This warning pertains to tokens issued on the ledger rather than newly minted XRP.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Thailand has completed the formulation of relevant rules, allowing cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to be listed and traded on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, initially limited to Bitcoin and Ethereum. The rules will take effect on October 16, 2026.Initially, products such as depositary receipts linked to overseas cryptocurrency ETFs are not allowed, and Thai brokers are still prohibited from assisting retail investors in investing in overseas cryptocurrency ETFs; institutional investors and ultra-high-net-worth individuals are not subject to this restriction. Mutual funds and private equity funds can invest in cryptocurrency ETFs established in Thailand. The relevant ETFs must adopt a passive investment approach, tracking the prices of the invested crypto assets, and ensure that the average net exposure of a single cryptocurrency reaches at least 80% of the net asset value within each accounting year. Brokers are not allowed to provide margin financing, and fund assets must be custodied by a digital asset custodian regulated by the SEC.

On October 9, Binance founder CZ posted on X, responding to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's lengthy article about the potential impact of artificial intelligence accelerating mathematical research on cryptographic security. CZ rated Vitalik's mathematical level at 99.99 points, while he rated himself at 0.01 points, joking that together they might achieve something; he also mentioned that people might not fully understand Vitalik's articles like himself, but even so, such analytical discussions are worth reading.Previously, Vitalik warned in a post that the acceleration of mathematical research by artificial intelligence could significantly weaken the practical security of lattice-based cryptography in the next two years, involving technologies such as ML-DSA and fully homomorphic encryption, and could even expose ECDSA to cracking risks sooner than expected. He believes that artificial intelligence could drive mathematical research progress equivalent to the past 50 years within two years, which is why the Ethereum Lean roadmap has gradually shifted towards pure hash signature schemes over the past year, reducing reliance on lattice cryptography.

On September 8, the ZKsync development team Matter Labs announced that it has open-sourced the permission engine of its privacy blockchain platform Prividium for financial institutions under the Apache 2 license. This engine is responsible for managing roles and access permissions on the chain, determining who can read and write data. After the open-sourcing, institutions can run the permissioned chain in their own environment based on the public code without signing commercial agreements, and can independently inspect, run, and modify the core code, reducing reliance on a single vendor.The Deutsche Bundesbank became the first institution to test and deploy the open-source permission engine in its own infrastructure. Matter Labs stated that both parties will continue to collaborate on platform design and testing. Prividium achieves privacy by keeping transaction data within the institution, only recording zero-knowledge proofs that the ledger has been correctly updated on Ethereum or other compatible chains. Previously, the core of ZKsync OS, Atlas sequencer, Airbender prover, interoperability contracts, and block explorer and monitoring components have been open-sourced.Matter Labs CEO Alex Gluchowski stated that feedback from regulators indicated that relying solely on commercialized core components leads to unacceptable single vendor dependency, and the ability to run, inspect, and modify the code independently is a prerequisite for adoption. He also pointed out that this open-sourcing does not change the role of the ZK token, only adjusting which parts of the Prividium software are public code and which remain commercial products. Connectors such as management consoles, user access tools, and core banking system integrations remain paid products.
